OLD TOWN! Charming Historic Cottage circa 1927 in the Village of Pinehurst on desirable Short Road. Move-in ready with many updates including roof and windows. Freshly painted throughout the main home and guest cottage. The studio guest cottage behind the main home is a hidden gem and a very versatile asset. The cottage has separate electric. A one car garage and large paved area provides ample parking. The basement and guest cottage adds another 624 square feet to the property. The interior is spacious and filled with character including heart of pine floors and a fireplace in the dining room. The Master bedroom is on the main level with a handsome staircase leading to the second floor and two additional bedrooms. Storage is impressive and there is a coveted basement, uncommon in the area. A deck off the kitchen overlooks the private back yard. Perfect location for all things Pinehurst! Enjoy walking paths to Historic Old Town Pinehurst (less than one mile) and its many restaurants, shops, library, and special events. Pinehurst Elementary School is within a block and 1/2 and the Regional hospital and many local medical and dental offices are only a couple of blocks away as are Canon Park, Camelot Park, the Community Center (where indoor pickle ball is played), Village Hall and the police and fire stations, the Arboretum, and Rassie Wicker Park (where outdoor pickle ball is played ) and the children's Water Park is located. Nearby, still within close walking distance, are all of the 7 miles of Rassie Wicker walking trails, and all of Pinehurst Resort's Hotels, its Country Club and especially its golf courses 1-5. The quiet, but friendly neighborhood where this property is located is also very special. People know and care about their neighbors.
